A couple of weeks ago I facilitated a Street Wisdom event in Chester. I’ve attended two Street Wisdom events before, but this was the first I’d organised and led. An amazing group of people joined me and we spent time slowing down, tuning into our surroundings, and seeking wisdom from the streets and green areas […]
This year for the SLA Conference (see my review of SLA Conference) I was conference planner on behalf of the SLA Leadership and Management Division, a voluntary role that I started at the conference last summer. My role was to plan educational and social sessions on behalf of the division, and coordinate our kiosk in […]
It’s been over two months since SLA (Special Libraries Association) Conference 2017 ended. I’d intended to blog a little sooner but I’ve been somewhat pre-occupied. During the time following the conference I travelled with my partner from Phoenix (where the conference was held) to Sedona (where we went off roading), then Grand Canyon (where I […]
Last week I attended the CILIP West Midlands Member Network Members’ Day (yes indeed; quite a title!). I haven’t managed to make the last couple of years of these events due to clashes so was pleased to be able to attend this year (and even better to attend when you’re not speaking or organising!). @CILIPinfo […]
Another year has flown past and it’s time for my annual review – you can see previous ones for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. 2013 has been a funny old year; nothing particularly terrible has happened, but I haven’t felt as positive as I usually do and this has been reflected by a decrease […]
I’m a creature of habit, so I’m continuing the tradition of posting an end of year blog post (see 2008, 2009, and 2010). It’s actually really useful for me to look back and see what I did each year. So, what has 2011 involved? 1. My ALA 2011 badge complete with ribbons!, 2. Louisiana State […]
I don’t usually make public resolutions (or any resolutions come to think of it), but I’m a very reflective person always looking back and planning for future, so I thought it would probably make sense to record some of my hopes for 2011. I’m not going to make anything too concrete – the nature of […]
[picappgallerysingle id=”302609″]Continuing on the tradition from 2008 and 2009, it’s time for my end of year blog post. As a naturally reflective person, I find it very useful to reflect back on my achievements of the year and consider what to focus on next. It’s also useful to look at my previous end of year […]
[picappgallerysingle id=”246905″]I thought I’d continue the tradition I started last year and end 2009 by posting a reflective blog post about the year. It’s been a year full of ups and downs, mainly ups thankfully – although at times it’s been difficult to focus on the positives, I’ve learnt a lot this year about myself. […]
